True, your best bet here is to be selective on what laptop you buy. There are enough out there supporting suspend (and Linux in general) pretty good. I've been quite happy with the Dell Latitude series as they haven't given me any headaches over this..
Always also be careful with the video chipset as Intel, in my experiance, is still the safest (don't read performance here) option.
